At the airport before I get to Osaka~
It feels like I hear Japanese already
(Not Osaka yet) We can eat Korean food there
What I must bring when traveling is …
my bag and this rabbit ❤️
You must take your rabbit?
Whether it’s a keyring or a doll,
I must have the existence of a rabbit with me LOL
This looks kinda fake, doesn’t it?
(I prefer reading on the plane because I can’t be on my phone anyway)
Money
(Money… It’s important…)
That’s so realistic
(Only REAL items coming up) A mask
(My new passport because my old one was expired)
(Why…?!) Machine to help with my puffiness
and some eyedrop because my eyes get dry
Why do I only have these kinds of things?
Oh, and I can’t forget my lip balm
(Sad because I put them all in my suitcase) I have an oddly small amount of stuff to show you guys today
Airpods~
And lastly…
Snacks❤️
(Can’t expect what comes next)
[Already here]
[The hair getting in the way of this vibes of this shot]
[I feel excited when I see new words at the airport because it really feels like the start of a trip]
[Osaka’s airport and city are quite far from each other, so we have a long way to go]
[The bag is light, but the suitcase is bigger than my body]
We’re not going that way
It’s this way
[In cases like this, just take a U-turn as if nothing happened]
I can’t stop smiling - my lips are locked up at my cheekbones
Traveling is always fun
[Getting on the Osaka Laffitte to get to Namba!]
[It is not an option, but a necessity to do convenience store shopping before going]
This.. for some reason looks good
Taking one each
We’re gonna go to the convenience store near our place anyway, so I better stop shopping here
Let’s check it out later
[The diversity in the Japanese convenience store world]
Our train!
[Doesn’t it look so cute?]
[Doesn’t it look so cute?x2]
Soufflé pudding! So excited
Do that with your hand!
[You guys can see clearly, right?]
There are so many delicious things (in the convenience store)
Weren’t there even different types of puddings?
(Not like something big happened here)
Oishi? (Yummy?)
[My friend is talented at picking up languages]
(It's just so nice)
This is so good. I want more
Guilty
[This little one is guilty in charge of being so good, so try it!]
It's like that... in Toronto
[The famous Japanese cheesecake shop in Canada] Uncle Tetsu
It tastes the same!
Korean cheesecake doesn't taste like this
[Instead of being thick it's more softer!]
There is pudding underneath
When I come to Japan
I prefer stuff like this than the actual food
Please raise your hand if you are a dessert lover!
Showing off my new nails while I'm at it♥
[40 minutes are gone by the time I finished my dessert]
Arrived at Namba City!
I unpacked my bag at the hotel~
and changed into something comfortable
Here I come Dotonbori!♥
What the..?
(So crowded..!) A famous Takoyaki place
[Seeing that Glico sign, I feel like I am truly in Osaka now]
(A quick selfie)
[It was so crowded that day..!]
Woo, I love it when it's crowded like this
(Don't really like crowds but it feels like I'm traveling, so it's nice)
Can't skip takoyaki!
Oh, long line. Wanna go somewhere else?
Let's go somewhere else without line
[We are such a perfect travel mate.]
(Sad looking Katsuobushi) Because I don't like katsuobushi
Kept It Simple
It looks hot
(Careful it's boiling hot)
I love this, that raw batter
It's so different, it's like a porridge
Is this supposed to be like this?
No, it isn't. I think this is how they do it here
(But all Takoyaki is hot)
But it's pretty good
It's nice because it's different. Like this uncooked...
[Is this just a different recipe? or they served an uncooked one.. I am not too sure.]
[I quite enjoyed the Soggy Takoyaki]
[I stopped by and found cute items]
[If you love Sanrio, you should stop by here.]
What is this? So cute
[I don't know what this is but I can't resist looking at it]
(I want to buy everything)
(Check out this Kuromi wearing a tweed jacket)
[This makes me feel both cute and awkward]
I have no idea what this is, but I need to buy this
I found this adorable case ♥
(You’re mine)
[I couldn’t think straight because there were so many various items]
[Guess what I bought?!]
[We happened to walk into an Izakaya to avoid the crowded streets]
[There were so many locals]
Should we order one avocado?
[Looking for a menu that is simple but tasty]
May we order?
You know those kinds of days where you just don't like your hair whatever you do
Today is that day
-The half-up you did was nice -Half-up?
Should I do a higher half-up, like this?
[Judging from my face, I wasn’t happy with it but it’s best not to pay attention to it, right..?]
[Our warm sake came out]
Oh, it's warm ♥
[I actually ordered green tea because of my wisdom teeth situation :( ]
[This warmth just melted away all the tiredness]
Oh the color is so pretty
[The Sashimi was so nicely presented on the plate with a flower decoration♥]
[The smoke made the camera all foggy]
[Lastly, the grilled avocado that I ordered!]
[We chatted for a while in an unfamiliar but cozy space]
[It was a long day] I feel like I could pass out
Our accommodation is in the middle of Dotonbori
[It’s a little small but it's very nice location wise] It’s good to walk back and forth to Dotonbori
Usually, there’s a lot of people in Dotonbori or the city area
But it feels like there’s a lot of people than usual
[Two Koreans who arrived on TGIF (Thank God It’s Friday)] Today is Friday so people seem to be enjoying their night
[We went to a local Izakaya because there were so many people] At the Izakaya
It seemed like there were only locals
So we were just chatting
But the person next to us spoke to me an hour later in Korean
What city are you from in Korea?
I was so caught off guard because of the question
because I thought they were all local Japanese
[We went into a place that seemed like there were only locals]
We asked the people next to us
[Many things happened in the Izakaya] what they were eating because it looked so good
We looked up on Papago (translator)
you.. what is this dish you’re eating
In the end, we asked
What is this?
(They seemed to enjoy this dish so much)
[Raymyeon=Naengmyeon(Korean cold noodles)]
It is.. like Naengmyeon
It’s similar to Dongchimi guksu(noodles in dongchimi[radish kimchi juice]) in Korea
- The seasoning.. - was strong!
- It was very new haha - The seasoning was too salty
[It was a new flavor, one we’ll be unable to taste in Korea]
Tomorrow is the second day, but also almost the last day
[It’s a day-and-a-half trip, so tomorrow’s itinerary is going to be busy] So we'll be doing a lot tomorrow
That’ll be it for today❤️
[Please stay tuned for the second episode of Jiyeon in Osaka]
